Say hello to my little friend…..

The S5 has one job—get to the line before everyone else. Under the likes of Wout van Aert, Marianne Vos, and Christophe LaPorte, the new model has already proven itself as a tool without equal. In the 2022 Tour de France, this bike propelled Wout to the highest ever Points Classification score of the modern era. At 480, Wout was some 194 points ahead of his nearest rival—tangible proof that Cervélo keeps delivering aerodynamic gains to our World Tour athletes.

The new S5 has reduced drag by 65 grams, and increased the frame’s surface area while still reducing overall weight. The deeper frame sections maximize the shapes allowed by the UCI. Meanwhile the iconic V-stem has been further refined and a new fork designed to simplify the entire front end.

What’s more, a ground-breaking new wheel design concept has been co-developed with Reserve to increase stability and reduce drag in turbulent aero conditions.

-The S5’s iconic V-stem not only inspires confident handling at high speeds, it’s now also remarkably simple to dial in your perfect set-up. All the necessary spacers come with the bike, and there’s now only one bolt length, reducing complexity and making the system 53g lighter in the process.

-The UCI’s new regulations on aerodynamic design allowed us some additional room to deepen our aero profiles and squeeze 65 more grams of drag performance out of what is already the fastest aero bike on the market. You’ll notice a deeper head tube and BB area, and more aggressive shaping on the trailing edges of the tubes. Since the new S5 is only compatible with electronic shifting, we were able to tidy the dropout a bit, and update the shaping all over the bike.

-Tire clearance up to 35mm

Come down to the shop to take one for a spin!!

Such an important reminder for all ebike users:

🚲💡 **E-Bike Safety Alert** 💡🚲

In the last few weeks, CHP officers have responded to several crashes involving minors on electric bikes 🚨. Some incidents have led to injuries. With the rise in e-bike popularity, it’s crucial we talk about responsible e-bike ownership and operation.

We ask parents to please do their due diligence before purchasing an e-bike 🛴💼. Understanding and discussing traffic rules with your children can make all the difference. We strongly recommend all e-bike operators, regardless of age, visit the CHP’s website at https://www.chp.ca.gov/Programs-Services/Services-Information/Bike-and-Ped-Safety for a **FREE E-Bike Safety Training Program** 📚✅.

# # # E-Bike Essentials:

According to the California Vehicle Code, e-bikes are classified just like standard bicycles but must adhere to specific regulations 🚦:

- **750 watts** max.
- **28 mph** speed limit for motor assistance.

# # # Know Your Class:
1. **Class 1:** Pedal-assist up to 20 mph.
2. **Class 2:** Throttle-assisted e-bike equipped with a motor that may be used to propel the bicycle. Max speed is 20 mph.
3. **Class 3:** Pedal-assist up to 28 mph, with special rules for operation.

# # # Class 3 Operators, remember:
- Must be **16 years or older**.
- **Helmet** required regardless of age.
- **No passengers** allowed.

🌿💚 Stay safe, ride smart, and cherish our communities and roads. 💚🌿

In 2019, Áspero took the gravel world by storm, heralding a “new era of speed in gravel.” Fun, but flat out.
The new Áspero remains true to its original brief, but with some improvements: a threaded BB shell, neater cable routing, and a UDH-compatible derailleur hanger for those who want to use SRAM’s Transmission drivetrains.
And it’s more aero, of course. In the case of Áspero, aerodynamic performance is less about pure speed as a result of drag reduction, and more about conservation of energy. After a big day in a headwind, the three watts saved over the previous Aspero might add up to one less energy gel your stomach has to digest—WORTH IT.

In addition to the drag reduction, we also dropped the seat stays to give a bit more compliance out back, and reduced front-end stiffness slightly to make the last hours of a long race less painful.
Between those dropped seat stays, we added in a bit more clearance for mud, too, taking what we learned from R5-CX (and the Unbound mudfest in 2023).
It’s a lot of seemingly small improvements, but they add up to a lot.

The result is a bike that feels a lot like the original Áspero, but is faster, more comfortable, and more versatile.

Often referred to as, ‘A downhill bike with a built-in chairlift.’

Meet the Santa Cruz Bullit!

If you desire gravity-riding but want extra Energy once you get to the top, the Bullit is for you!

Specifically designed to be at home on the biggest-hitting terrain, but with the added boost of an electric motor to get you to the start of trails you pine for.

Highlights:

• Long Travel
170mm rear wheel travel, with a coil-shock option for those that want even more of that DH bike feel, matched to a stout 38mm, 170mm travel fork.

• Big Power
The Best Downhills trails are typically found at the top of the mountain.
The full-power Shimano EP801 motor, paired with a large 630 Wh Shimano battery ensures the Bullit will take you where you need to go to find the proper terrain.

• DH at heart with trail Characteristics
With a 64° head angle, it’s only one degree steeper than our full-on DH model, the V10. And since you’ll be pedaling this machine to wherever you’re going, the 77° seat angle, puts you in the right position for ‘chairlift mode.’

• Mixed Wheels
The mixed wheel configuration of a 29” wheel up front provides traction and stability, while the 27.5” rear wheel helps you lean it in.

• Gravity Appropriate Build & Components
Burley components and Double Down tires on all Bullit build options reflect the Sensibility of the Bullit platform. The full Carbon CC frame and oversized pivot hardware are so bulletproof that we give it a lifetime warranty.

Would you ride a Bullit?
